Since the early 1970s southern fiction has been increasingly attentive to social issues, including the continuing struggles for racial justice and gender equality, the loss of a sense of social community, and the decline of a coherent regional identity. The essays in The World Is Our Home focus on writers who have explicitly addressed social and cultural issues in their fiction and drama, including Dorothy Allison, Horton Foote, Ernest J. Gaines, Jill McCorkle, Walker Percy, Lee Smith, William Styron, Alice Walker, and many others. The contributors provide valuable insights into the transformation of southern culture over the past thirty years and probe the social and cultural divisions that persist. The collection makes an important case for the centrality of social critique in contemporary southern fiction.

By 1920, Marcus Garvey's Black uplift organization, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), with eleven million dues-paying members, was the most powerful Black economic and social uplift establishment on the planet. Its plans for unifying Africa and developing a homeland for people of African descent complete, the UNIA poured its fortune into the nation of Liberia. But Liberia sold out the UNIA, leaving it in shambles, its fortune seemingly lost forever. Nine decades later, Dr. Abrian Malone receives an email from Arthel Johnson, the current president of this supposedly dead organization, urging that they meet. But before this can happen, Johnson is brutally murdered, his death making international headlines. Fortunately, Johnson has made arrangements for informing Malone of his intentions should he meet a violent end. Malone finds that the UNIA fortune has not been lost but has increased a thousandfold and is held in abeyance for future use, specifically to implement Garvey's Liberian Redemptive and unify Africa. Malone and his five closest friends, a gender and racially diverse group, are sent on a dangerous mission to locate the fortune by a certain date, least the fortune be lost forever, and initiate the redemptive. The trail to the fortune has been laid by Marcus Garvey himself and can only be deciphered by Malone and his friends. Further, through an indirect line of filiations, Garvey has endowed Malone with three physiological abilities to assist him in his quest. They also make him the greatest martial artist on the planet. But they are pursued over three continents by a villainous group of militarily trained Liberian assassins who want the fortune for themselves. Historical background necessarily is rich and the characters well-developed. The timeliness of the narrative is witnessed by the renewed interest in the continent of Africa by people of all nationalities. Will the implementation of Garvey's hypothetical Liberian Redemptive stabilize Africa and the Middle East and the rest of the modern world?
